Since there is no report of daily walking activity of Korean, authors studied on normal adult daliy walking activity in korean of various kinds of occupation, personal life and patients. Total 134 cases were studied and in which there were 10 patients, 7 retired elderlies, 4 house wives, 48 employees of compaines, 30 nurses, 4 laboratory technicians, 2 pharmacists, 7 house staff doctors, 12 chief doctors, 4 cases of hicking and 6 cases of 18 holes golf players. The daily walking steps were measured with pedometer in 167 times in total and following results were, obtained. 1. Bed rest patients ; less than 1000 steps/day 2. Retired elderly ; 2,724(2,150-3,500) steps/day 3. House wife ; 5,437(3,030-7,920) steps/day 4. High ranking, old clerk and chief doctor ; 5,000-6,000 steps/day 5. Ordinary non-active clerk and non-clerk employee ; 6,000-9,000 steps/day 6. common young active clerk and nurse ; 10,000-15,000 steps/day 7. Very active clerk and non-clerk employee ; 15,000(13,000-20,000) steps/day 8. Heavy worker ; more than 20,000 steps/day

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic availability of the morphology of mitochondria to identify the nature or the origin of neoplasms. MATRIALS AND METHODS: We analysed two cases of ovarian malignancy- a case of malignant steroid cell tumor, unclassified and a case of metastatic carcinosarcoma from the adrenal cortex- which were difficult to identify the origin and the nature of the tumor for special staining, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural methods. RESULTS: To evaluate the nature or the origin of neoplasms, we performed immuno histochemistry for various antigens and special stains, however the specific diagnostic clues were not provided by these modalities. The ultrastructural characteristics of mitochondria of neoplastic cells showing tubular or tubulo-vesicular inner mitochondrial membranes provided diagnostic clues as a marker for steroidogenic potential. The morphology of mitochondria is related to the enzyme activity and steroid-biosynthetic capacity of cells. Especially, the inner mitochondrial membrane structure is believed to be related to the steroid biosynthetic activity. In hypofunctional state of corticosteroid productian, a reduced number of inner mitochondrial membranes showing tubular patterns is noted. In cantrast, the stimulation of steroidogenesis result in a progressive increase of mitochondrial membrane showing densely packed rounded vesicular patterns via tubulo-vesicular patterns according to the activity of steroidogenesis. CONCLUSION: The tubular, the vesicular and the tubulo-vesicular mitochondria will be valuable to identify the uncertainty of nature and origin of tumor as a stemidogenic.

This study describes an evaluation of the sonographic, cholangiographic, pathological, and immunological findings, and the protective effect shown by rats reinfected with Clonorchis sinensis. Eight experimental rat groups were, namely, a normal control, a primary infection control, a reinfection I (reinfection 7 week after treatment following 3-week infection), a reinfection II (reinfection 2 week after treatment following 8-week infection), a reinfection III (exploration of the intrahepatic bile ducts 1 week after reinfection 4 week after treatment following 4-week infection), a superinfection, a secondary infection control, and an infection following immunization group. Sonographic and cholangiographic findings showed moderate or marked dilatation of the bile duct confluence in the primary infection control, reinfection II, and secondary infection control groups. Juvenile worms survived in the intrahepatic bile ducts 1 week after reinfection following treatment in the reinfection III group. It was concluded that reinfecting juvenile worms found during the first week following reinfection failed to survive or grow further. Anatomical, pathophysiological, or immunological changes may induce protection from reinfection in rats.
